Israel Appeal

On October 7, Israel made an unprecedented call to action by summoning 360,000 reservists from around the world, constituting the largest reserve mobilization in history. However, the stark reality is that there simply isn't enough equipment to meet the needs of every soldier.

As we speak, these dedicated men and women are showing up for duty on the borders with basic or outdated equipment. The situation is about to worsen as the weather gets colder, and our soldiers are unprepared due to the urgency of their deployment. They are sleeping on the bare ground, as there are not enough sleeping bags available, and they lack proper clothing for the changing conditions.

Furthermore, Israel is grappling with supply shortages across the board, with no new shipments arriving due to canceled commercial flights and deliveries.

In response to this crisis, we have come together as a global Jewish community to establish a grassroots network dedicated to acquiring and delivering essential goods from America to Israel and, most importantly, directly to the front line soldiers. Generous individuals have already stepped up to arrange chartered flights, and we have forged vital connections with customs authorities and a reliable chain of delivery within Israel, ensuring the immediate and proper distribution of these critical supplies.

Every step of the process, from purchasing to flights to customs to on-the-ground distribution, is meticulously organized. We are working in direct coordination with IDF supply experts and generals to maintain an up-to-the-hour list of equipment needs.

Here is where your support can make an immense difference:

• $13: Supply a soldier with fresh socks
• $22: Help a soldier stay warm with thermal wear
• $40: Provide a soldier with a sleeping bag for proper rest
• $80: Equip a soldier with supportive combat boots
• $155: Outfit a single soldier with the essentials

For those who wish to have an even greater impact:

• $1,550: Outfit 10 soldiers
• $4,700: Equip an entire unit of 30 soldiers
• $14,000: Support an entire platoon of 90 soldiers
• $155,000: Outfit an astounding 1,000 soldiers

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will go directly towards acquiring the much-needed goods and equipment, ensuring that your generosity has a full, tangible, and immediate impact. Together, we can support the well-being of our brave soldiers and their ability to carry out their mission.

Thank you for your consideration and compassion. Let us stand together in solidarity with Israel and the Israel Defense Force and ensure they have the equipment they need to fulfill their duties and stay safe.
